|
Sun beats hard |
|
On Sunset |
|
Boulevard |
|
Much harder still |
|
In Notting |
|
Hill A northwind blows |
|
And carries me home |
|
Carries my heart, carries my soul |
|
When cool silks they turn to suede |
|
When young dreams are torn and frayed |
|
The South feels so cold and grey |
|
Today! Today the |
|
North's too many miles away |
|
Today! Today |
|
I got to get away |
|
I'm driving north |
|
I'm heading home |
|
I'm driving back |
|
To the place |
|
I once belonged |
|
It's all gone silent |
|
The light begins to fade |
|
One man unplugs |
|
The penny arcade |
|
A northwind blows |
|
And carries me home |
|
Carries my heart, carries my soul |
|
When cool silks they turn to suede |
|
When young dreams are torn and frayed |
|
The South feels so cold and grey |
|
Today! Today the |
|
North's too many miles away |
|
Today! Today |
|
I got to get away |
|
I'm driving north |
|
I'm heading home |
|
I'm driving back |
|
To the place |
|
I once belonged |
|
One sweet bouquet |
|
The flowers strewn |
|
The petals scattered |
|
Here in the |
|
North No dreams are shattered |
|
I'm driving north |
|
I'm heading home |
|
I'm driving back |
|
To the place |
|
I once belonged |
|
No we don't feel angry |
|
No we don't feel betrayed |
|
Unlike our fathers |
|
We don't remember better days |
|
No we don't feel angry |
|
No we don't feel betrayed |
|
We just live |
|
In this day and age |
